Page 6 | Elon Musk's latest tweet tonight! Delighted he's advocating for children. They need a powerful voice speaking out on their behalf. Pendulum is swinging!

It's bang on trend for younger, left wing people to hate Elon Musk - to the extent that they would not even watch the very informative Elon Musk Show On BBC - because he is a "fascist".

And that's supposed to be a recommendation?

Why do some of you hate Elon so much? Is it the latest cool trend? He has opened Twitter up to different voices. It’s a turning point.

He's revered by the younger generation. Elon advocating against this is so just powerful. Even the sheer amount of retweerts alone is unbelievable.. The whole world seems to be waking up to this.

Because he is a proto-fascist who supports people like Putin and Orban? Because he demonises Fauci? A lot of what he posts is Dad-level, 4chan–Clark Griswold stuff.

Whatever my views on the issue, I don't trust Elon Musk any further than I can throw him.

I think this is difficult because although I agree with what he is saying, at the end of the day its only 'good' because I agree with him. He is so powerful that if he starts a negative narrative about something else, there is no counter to him.

All the womanphobe, womanhating TERF shouters will need to find a new platform now!
Surely they can't continue to support twitter now, that would be very hypocritical of them🤔😁

It’s very powerful. Young people look up to him. He gives legitimacy in being able to say exactly the same at work, with friends etc. He is one of the most powerful men and he has a trans child. At last I say.

@ineedanewtv exactly. As the father of a trans child he is more qualified than anyone else to speak out & advocate for children. He'll make a difference. A big one.
Judging by some accounts I'm following the TRAs are not happy with this development at all & are very pissed off that pride is toned down this year. Tide definitely is turning.

This is excellent - Musk is the best thing that's ever happened to twitter 😂

It's so encouraging that the tide is turning. Great stuff 👍

Igmum · 12/06/2023 08:20

Yes at last. I disagree with a lot of what Elon says but on this issue he is on the money and a very powerful advocate. It's about time the TRAs were faced with facts and sunlight instead of slogans and no debate.

Facts are facts. Doesn't matter which paper reports them. Or which individual tells them.

Seems like some are very happy to go backwards, become silent little women & let the men back in control (even if they are in dresses)! Not progressive. The women haters & womanphobes seem to come out in the middle of the night!

I'd rather he was highlighting the dangers, than extolling the virtues of what we know to be a route leading to terrible outcomes for children.

And what better person to use his influence to do that. He won't be silenced that's for sure!

@PrincessPalatine well they have been effectively silenced in the past so yesit's big progress! A couple of months ago people were banned from twitter for being gc now Elon Musk has taken over & change is happening. More progress.

Out of all the people in the world Elon Musk is the person you want advocating against this ideology. He has the power, media ownership & money to make a huge difference.
In the past few weeks Elon Musk, the Times, Telegraph, Daily Mail & lots of US media have turned incredibly GC. That's powerful. They are all honing in on what is being done to children & people are rightly horrified. Elon won't let this go.

He's speaking out against sterilisation in tonight's tweet. I think his child just changed it's name. Even more powerful so that he is speaking out if he has a trans child.
He's speaking from experience as a parent with a trans child. I'm so happy he is on fire with this.
A few months ago very mild opinions would lead to a person being banned.
There is a lot of "terf" hate speech & hade towards GC people on twitter, I hope Elon's next mission is to investigate this further. The woman hating womanphobes need a taste of their own medicine.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander!
